Pool Betch (Friday Favorites)
posted by: VixenFriday Favorites-
Barefoot Dreamer… Really, nothing I can say here isn’t what you aren’t thinking now looking at her pic. Right?! Go tell her how fabulous she is. GO.
Sexie Sadie… Mirror shots are awfully high on my list of *insanely sexy*. And this one is a car rear view mirror. Naughty, naughty girl… *grins*
There was one more but she’s new-ish to HNT and while I have a blanket permission to use most everyone who plays pics, I don’t from her. So, check out her link. It’s an incredible shot!
Lustolicious

It’s no news (or at least it shouldn’t be, ha!) that I spend a good portion of my summer at the pool with the kiddos. We have a fabulous pool we go to, as well as the equally fabulous (yet different) one we meet my sister at usually once a week with her kiddos. My children are fish/dare devils (seriously you should see the thing they can pull off on the diving board, it amazes even me, and I’m their mother!). It’s easy, fun, inexpensive entertainment.
I do a lot of people watching. Over the last month or so I’ve made some mental notes.
Notes from the pool-
There is a difference between ‘having tattoos’ and turning your body into a walking billboard (and you know I am a HUGE fan of ink). It seems to be the new trend for the 18-20something crowd to do this to themselves. Sayings, names, words all in large fancy writing covering their entire chests, legs, backs, across one shoulder to another. I wonder how much thought was put into their ink and how they will feel about these random slogans later on in life. Yes there is laser removal….but from what I hear it’s way more painful than any and all tattoos. Things that make you go, hmm…..
To the rather good looking, very buff man who comes to the pool daily with his toddler daughter…your board shorts should be longer than my 7yro son’s. Just sayin…. Not that you don’t have nice legs and all but it’s not a good look for you. Or men in general.
Bikini bottoms that go up past your navel are out. No matter how cute your figure….when you pull your bottoms up past your navel, so that your butt cheeks then hang out. No. Not ok.
Just graduated high school boys who seem nice enough….until they open their mouths. And talk smack- loudly- about some chick and one of them being her baby daddy. The ick spewing from their mouths was crude, rude, and offensive. Please refrain from opening your mouths. Excuse me while I find somewhere else to sit in disgust.
Men. If you have to dig your shorts out out of your ass after getting out of the pool- YOUR SHORTS ARE TOO SMALL. They should *not* fit like that. Wrong, wrong, wrong…. *still trying to remove that image from my brain*
To the parents of the seven (-ish) year old wearing water wings… Your child needs swimming lessons. Not inflatable armwear that make your child look like a dork. And I’m pretty sure if you look at the specifications of those water wings- they are for toddlers, possibly small preschoolers. But most definitely not a school aged child weighing 40 plus pounds. At the very least, buy them a life vest. That at least might do some good for your child if it’s neccessary.
*****
TGIF… Have no clue what plans this weekend may hold. I’m feeling as if I owe everyone some pics and possibly some stories from my trip to see Roxy. It’s been brought up numerous times in comments this last week. Maybe I’ll try to work on that. Many of you have also asked about Ashton (aka Yummy…). I guess I have some things to fill you all in on. In time….

I’m glad I don’t wear my bikini bottoms above my navel so that my butt cheeks hang out. I’m not that bad am I?
The 7 yo with water wings is killing me. Wasn’t I the one having the small heart attack at the idea of the swim vest– for a 4 yo? Can’t imagine what that parent is thinking. And the fact the kid doesn’t care…
And I know what we’re doing this weekend. I bet it includes walking around in romantic, old fashioned, long, flowing attire.

Ooooo RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL!!!! *swoon*
PCJuly 15th, 2010 at 10:29 pm
Yep, yep, yep. Us in our flowing garments. ;)
VixenJuly 15th, 2010 at 10:29 pm
Oh. And only that one time you did (with the bikini bottoms) and then I set you straight. So it’s all good these days. :)
PCJuly 15th, 2010 at 11:22 pm
Damn! I forgot about that time. But kept trying to fix my cheeks, didn’t I? The boy shorts shouldn’t be a problem next time. They give me a little more coverage in that sense.
Barefoot DreamingJuly 15th, 2010 at 11:28 pm
laughing too hard at above comments to formulate my own
Barefoot DreamingJuly 15th, 2010 at 11:29 pm
alright. regrouped now.
Thank you so much. In with two insanely gorgeous, sexy, and wonderful women…..wow. Happy skip!
Barefoot DreamingJuly 15th, 2010 at 11:38 pm
also I think I will try to recreate that beach pic tomorrow :)
VixenJuly 16th, 2010 at 12:27 am
I’m assuming the top pic, not the bottom pic. Bc you will most def need my help to recreate the bottom pic ;)

Pool and/or beach people watching is some of my absolute favorite! I mean seriously, is there any better place to unleash your inner Tim Gunn? I plan to do a lot of critiquing when we’re poolside in Vegas this weekend, for sure!

Barefoot DreamingJuly 16th, 2010 at 6:46 am
ahhh but jr. have you seen the CRAP they are putting on them? who wants “WHASSUP?” across their chest in 5 years? ughhh
also Vix- yes the sunglasses one. I KNOW I won’t be recreating the bottom one at the beach I am going to…..
WestcoastWeirdoJuly 16th, 2010 at 7:46 am
Oh the chick in the bottom chick has my nipples! Puffy nips – I’m not the only one!!
VixenJuly 16th, 2010 at 8:01 am
jr- great! I’ll be the one in the long flowy off the shoulder dress and corset. But rather than a turkey leg (gag) I’ll be holding a beer. I’m sure we can’t miss each other!
BD- EXACTLY! Obviously I have nothing against ink, I *LOVE* ink, no matter how much. It’s WHAT these kids are putting on their bodies.
VixenJuly 16th, 2010 at 8:07 am
*snickering at the image of jr in thigh high boots and boy shorts*
Now THAT is an image I won’t soon forget!
Sexie SadieJuly 16th, 2010 at 9:57 am
I was just coming over to get the link to YOUR HNT so I could tweet it, and noticed you picked me this week for you FF! Thank you!!!
I am so in love with yours this week that I am broadcasting it across my social networks. So hot!!

JenJuly 16th, 2010 at 10:11 am
you like my tattoo with words right?
and that first pic with the birds on her shoulder ~ *SWOON!* OMG HOT!!!! I didn’t get past that pic will have to go back and look at the others…lol
and yes..people watching at public pools is hilarious and often times just sad. which is why I love my pool. I can be as tacky or as naked as I want to be and nobody can say a damn thing! ;)
VixenJuly 16th, 2010 at 10:16 am
Jen- YES! I love your tattoo. I am talking about what BD said. I’m referring to these LARGE tattoos that say things like “WASSUP” written across their entire chest. Or their girlfriends name (and they are 18). Just completely random *words* HUGELY written permanently on them. And not just one- like 10. That’s what I mean. :)
Barefoot DreamingJuly 16th, 2010 at 2:46 pm
ahhh jr…. prove it (@ welcome to …tat)
BunnyJuly 16th, 2010 at 3:16 pm
I love people watching at pools & beaches, the things people think they can get away with!
The Urban CowboyJuly 16th, 2010 at 3:17 pm
You all crack me up. Fantastic shots.
southerngirlJuly 16th, 2010 at 3:21 pm
Love your wise pool observations.
How about the 40+ guy at the pool with larger-than-life nipple rings? Uhh dude, seriously, when they start to look like gages through the nipple, it’s a bit too much….
danimoJuly 18th, 2010 at 12:02 pm
LOL i love your poolside people-watching observations. and as another fan of ink, i have to agree with you that full-body tattoos are becoming a trend in my generation where they really only flatter, suit, or generally belong to the identity of a small coterie of individuals. and, yeah, today’s teenagers suck even more than they did a few years ago when i was one. sheesh!
on a brighter note, i am absolutely picking my jaw up off the floor from that last picture. it’s stunning. :D
